~ The Voices' command to the Killers. |
The Killers are the main antagonists of the horror co-op video game Dead by Daylight, once regular humans, they had their dark desires amplified by the Entity and became serial killers. After being chosen, they are sent to the Entity's realm where they were mutated and given paranormal powers in order to hunt down and capture survivors for eternity.
Biography[]
In order for the Entity to find a new killer, it senses certain individuals and analyzes their killing potential, such as those who killed out of vengeance, trauma or sadism. It may also change its mind if it sees greater potential in another, such as when it originally wanted to turn Mr. Yamaoka into one of its killers before rejecting him for his daughter Rin. The Entity can also track a Killer for extended periods of time before they are taken, such as The Artist being followed by crows, or members of The Legion having dreams about killing and being followed by Entity claws in real life. Once the Entity captures a Killer, it transports them into its realm and forces them to partake in rituals where a single Killer chases down four Survivors as they work together to escape. It is the Killer's job to round up the Survivors so that the Entity can claim their souls. During the trial, the Entity feeds on the high emotions experienced by Survivors and Killers. Some Killers try to resist the Entity's urges, resulting in them being agonizingly tortured and disfigured until they go insane and comply, while others are so evil that they are willing to serve the Entity without question.
Some killers are crossover characters from other works of horror media, indicating that the Entity is a multidimensional being. It is also possible to have multiple of the exact same Survivor in a match, so the Entity may take several copies of a single person from multiple similar universes.
All Killers are gifted with a specific ability when taken into the Entity, though some simply have their natural skills augmented slightly. However, it seems that a sort of "blanket buff" is applied to most killers. For example, the Trickster appears to be an unmodified human on the surface but is still able to break apart wooden pallets and carry around survivors with ease despite his appearance. The Killers are also unable to be permanently harmed or killed, such as when the Oni had his arm sliced off, and simply regenerated it from the fog. Some killers have also had their strength and powers reduced for the trials. The Nightmare's lore directly states that his powers were weakened in some ways and strengthened in others. The Nemesis' mutation rate is limited to three states, and it is able to be stunned by normal wooden pallets, despite it tanking bullets and explosions in Resident Evil games.
Gameplay[]
The chosen Killer is the main antagonist of each match, whose goal is to capture the Survivors before they fix five generators to unlock the exit passages to escape the game. The Killer has the ability to track them down with the sounds they make such as their footsteps, breathing and screaming, along with their blood trails or "scratch marks" left by running Survivors. As they chase Survivors, the Killer must strike them with their signature weapon to wound them, then strike again to knock them down. Some Powers are able to injure survivors, and others can instantly down them. Then, the Killer must carry the Survivor to a hook where the Entity will consume them if they are hooked three times. Whenever a Survivor goes into Killer's "Terror Radius", ominous music will play. As they go closer and closer, the music intensifies before becoming fast-paced as the Killer gives chase. Instead of sacrificing the Survivors, the Killer may choose to instead do their Memento Mori, where they will kill the Survivor, themselves using a unique animation. Each Killer has a different signature power which helps them find survivors, and different perks which give them unique playstyles.
